I think this is the best cheap option for experiencing the Uros islands. The tour was nice (and touristy like expected), and we learnt what we were hoping to learn about the floating islands. There was an issue with the pick up at hotel option, so I'd recommend to simply walk to the meeting point, as it is most likely close anyways.
Dear Elian Thanks a lot for sharing your experience Best regards
It was exactly what we expected. I mean, all these half-day tours are the same, so you don't have to pay 3 times more for them. In my opinion you can do without the trip with this canoe - to this second island comes anyway the big boat and there is nothing to visit - just a bar :). it is clear that this place is very commercial, but for such a price it is worth experiencing this way of life. I booked the tour at night - so the office did not notice - after the call via WhatsApp it did us transport immediately.
Sehr geehrter Reisender, vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar und Ihr Verständnis dafür, dass der Ort bereits ziemlich kommerziell und touristisch ist, aber wir tun immer unser Bestes, um den besten Service zu bieten. Segen!!
Interesting to see how the Uros live, but you need to know ehat you are buying, is a bit too much turist oriented, but all of these tours are quite the sama, good for 1/2 day.
Thank you for your review dear Victor, it helps us to get improving, have a great journey.
We were dropped off at a tourist trap and we felt very pressured to purchase a boat ride that wasn’t included in our booking. The tour guide did provide us with interesting information. We were hoping to get the opportunity to explore more.
Dear Customer Thank you for letting us know these details in the service which helps us to continue improving, which is our goal every day. Blessings.
İts not good tour Firstly tour time 0900 0920 a girl 15 years come our hotel for pick up cant speaking English. Second when we arrived island we spend just 15 min family which live island they try sell somthing us. Then we sailed with Mercedes a restaurant and wait 2 hours. Boat not come.

Dear Customer Thank you for letting us know about this service failure, which we are investigating and it helps us to continue improving. Blessings.
Manuel was a Great tour guide! Thanks for introducing us to these island communities. The lunch included was fresh and tasty as well.
Dear Miriam, thank you very much for trusting our services, we are pleased to know that you have enjoyed your tour to the Islands in Titikaka lake, we are always delighted to make your expectations in a real experience.
The Uros islands themselves are super cool and the boat ride over there was beautiful. However, this tour was not what I expected. To start, it was just me and a guide who spoke barely any English. There were also some hidden costs. I knew it was 10 soles extra to ride in the traditional boat, but I didn’t realize it would cost me 10 soles to experience Taquille island. Also, my transport back was supposed to be included but they tried to charge me 10 soles for that as well, which I refused to pay. Overall, it’s a stunning boat ride and my guide was very nice, but this company was not transparent with me and I didn’t appreciate that.
Dear molly We are pleased to know that you have enjoyed this wonderful landscape on Lake Titikaka and also We appreciate that you let us know the lack of coordination and failures found in our service, which helps us improve, for which we are very sorry, but very willing to improve it. we wish you a good trip and blessings.
I loved this wonderful place, with friendly people living in balance with nature, and what I liked the most is its culture, its way of life and how not to recommend to this agency, which undoubtedly enhances the quality of this tourist destination, thank you!
